Our old friend and iellow-sownsmsn. Jake

He made visit TO old Mrs. Blackburn on East
Main street. and during his stay his eyes lit
on pocketbook lying upon the table, and at
the first opportunity he let his fingers freeze
to II, and Of course when he put his hand in
his pocket the book went along. Jake did not
steal 1t on purpose, but Just took 1t for the
cash that was in it. The pocketbook belonged
TO Mr.. Milh0lland, and when the loss was re-
ported to him and Jacob being the only person
and searched and the money found, and Jacob
| sent up for his clever trick.
Our town has escaped from the night work
OF burglars for year or more past, until last

Gerry of J. NJ. Rizer was opened but nothing Of
much consequence WAS stolen. The boot and
shoe store Of Meyers h Son, and Parrett &
Sons drug store we're also broken open but
nothing stolen to amount to much at the drug
store the most taken seems to be liquors.
The jewelry store Of McCommon was also at
tempted, but from some cause or other they
did not gain an entrance Money was what
the thieves were after, but they did not get
much, % our business men never leave much
| in the till after business hours. The amount
stolen in all will probably reach forty or fifty
dollars.
